    U.S. Army National Guard firefighters of the 1049th Engineer Detachment, Montana Army National Guard, respond to a nighttime fire training scenario during Northern Strike 25-2 at Grayling Army Airfield, Michigan, Aug. 4, 2025. The exercise challenged participants and local first responders with a complex, simulated emergency designed to enhance interoperability among multicomponent, multinational, and interagency partners. Northern Strike is a National Guard Bureau-sponsored, multi-component, multinational exercise designed to build readiness and enhance interoperability with allied forces to fight and win. Northern Strike 25-2, Michigan’s largest and longest exercise designed to validate readiness of the joint reserve force, is held Aug. 2 to 16, 2025, at the National All-Domain War-fighting Center. This year's iteration will feature approximately 7,500 participants. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt. Brayden Stephan)
